REPORT. 


7b  the  Stockholders  of  the  Concord  Railroad. 

I  The  undersigned,  a  majority  of  the  Committee  appointed 

I  by  you,  at  the  annual  meeting  holden  at  Nashville,  May  28, 
1850,  “  to  examine  and  audit  the  accounts  of  the  past  and  those 
of  the  present  year,  and  make  such  further  investigation  of  the 
affairs  and  transactions  of  the  Corporation,  its  officers  and  agents, 
as  they  may  think  advisable,’^  respectfully  report : 

That,  in  accordance  with  the  instructions  involved  in  their  ap¬ 
pointment,  they  have  carefully  examined  and  compared  the  ac¬ 
counts  and  vouchers  of  the  two  last  years  ;  inquired  into  the  me¬ 
thod  of  keeping  the  books  in  the  offices  of  the  Treasurer,  Superin¬ 
tendent  and  FreightAgent ;  inspected  the  condition  of  the  machine 
shops,  depdts,  track,  engines,  cars,  and  other  fixtures  and  furniture 
of  the  Road  ;  personally  visited  every  station  on  our  own  as  well  as 
the  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Road  ;  observed  the  diligence 
and  fidelity  of  the  various  persons  in  the  employment  of  the 
Corporation ;  investigated  the  amounts  and  modes  of  investment 
of  the  funds  of  the  Corporation,  and  made  such  other  and  fur¬ 
ther  inquiries  into  its  affairs,  and  the  doings  of  its  officers  and 
agents,  as  seemed  to  them  desirable  and  useful. 

They  found  the  books  of  the  Treasurer  in  the  most  perfect 
condition.  They  are  kept  with  great  method,  neatness  and  accu¬ 
racy.  The  vouchers  for  every  account  are  numbered  and  filed 
Tn  exact  accordance  with  the  corresponding  entries,  thus  afford¬ 
ing  the  means  of  readily  investigating  any  portion  of  the  multi¬ 
farious  business  of  the  Road.  Indeed,  we  think  a  better  or  more 
strictly  accurate  and  intelhgible  system  of  keeping  the  accounts 
of  the  Corporation,  than  that  adopted  hy  Mr.  Lovering,  could 
hardly  be  devised.  Ilis  monthly  trial  balances  exhibit  the  exact 
J  pecuniary  condition  of  the  Corporation  at  the  close  of  each

month,  with  hardly  a  possibihty  of  error,  and  any  stockholder 
who  takes  the  trouble  to  examine  them  can  see  at  a  glance  what¬ 
ever  is  important  in  regard  to  his  investment. 

Your  Committee  discovered  no  errors  in  the  books  of  the 
Treasurer,  and  no  discrepancies  between  the  entries  and  vouch¬ 
ers,  and  can  say,  with  the  utmost  confidence,  that  the  trial  balan¬ 
ces  therefrom,  presented  in  the  Reports  of  the  Directors  for  the 
two  last  years,  have  exhibited  just  and  true  statements  of  the 
results  of  the  operations  of  the  Road  during  those  years  respec¬ 
tively. 

The  books  in  the  office  of  the  Superintendent,  under  the  more 
immediate  direction  and  control  of  Mr.  James  W.  Sargent, 
Chief  Clerk,  are  systematically  and  correctly  kept,  and  highly 
creditable  to  the  ability,  industry  and  fidelity  of  that  officer. 

The  accounts  of  the  Freight  Department,  now  in  charge  of 
Mr.  Robert  Sherburne,  an  accompfished  and  experienced  ac¬ 
countant,  are  kept  with  remarkable  neatness  and  accui-acy,  upon 
a  system  which  seems  to  leave  nothing  to  be  desired  in  point  of 
intelligibility  and  correctness. 

The  machine  shops  at  Concord  are  in  excellent  condition,  and 
apparently  fui’nished  with  every  thing  in  the  shape  of  machinery 
which  can  be  necessary  in  repairing  or  renewing  the  engines, 
cars,  or  other  furniture  of  the  Road.  Under  the  experienced 
and  skillful  superintendence  of  Messrs.  Rice  and  Kimball, 
these  shops  seem  fully  adequate  to  the  purpose  for  which  they 
were  designed, — that  of  maintaining  in  good  repair,  and  almost 
without  deterioration,  the  equipment  of  the  Road. 

At  the  several  stations  on  both  Roads  visited  by  your  Com¬ 
mittee,  they  were  happy  to  find  invariably  exhibited  indications 
of  order,  regularity,  diligence  and  punctuality,  such  as  should 
always  characterize  the  operations  of  a  well  regulated  and  well 
managed  estabhshment. 

Frequently,  during  the  period  of  their  appointment,  your  Com¬ 
mittee  have  taken  occasion  to  notice  the  conduct  of  the  various 
employees  of  the  Corporation,  some  of  whom  have  been  thus  en¬ 
gaged  from  the  first  opening  of  your  Road,  and  most  cheerfully 


/

do  they  bear  witness  to  the  industry,  fidelity  and  skill  with  which 
they  have  uniformly  been  marked.  But  the  fact,  that  during 
the  whole  period  of  the  operation  of  your  Road  not  a  dollar  has 
been  paid  for  injuries  to  any  passenger  upon  any  of  its  numerous 
trains,  and  that  during  the  past  two  years  only  about  eleven  hun¬ 
dred  dollars  in  all  have  been  paid  for  damage  to  merchandise  and 
for  lost  baggage  on  so  extensive  a  thoroughfare,  furnishes  the 
most  satisfactory  evidence  of  the  fidelity  of  the  conductors,  en¬ 
gineers,  and  other  servants  of  the  Corporation. 

The  Capital  Stock  of  the  Road  is  now  $1,485,000,  rep¬ 
resented  by  29,700  shares.  Of  this  sum  there  had  been  expend¬ 
ed  prior  to  April  30,  1850,  the  sum  of  $1,386,788.03.  During 
the  year  ending  April  30,  1851,  there  has  been  expended, — for 
a  Freight  Dep6t  at  Hooksett,  $1,200  ;  for  the  purchase  of  the 
right  to  use  Lightner’s  Patent  Wheel  Boxes,  $495  ;  for  Lumber 
for  a  New  Bridge  at  Goff’s  Falls,  and  the  transportation  of  the 
same,  $2,114.83  ;  making  in  all,  expended  for  construction  dur- 
the  year,  the  sum  of  $3,809.83.  This,  added  to  the  amount 
previously  expended,  $1,386,788.03,  makes  a  total  expenditure 
on  account  of  construction,  of  $1,390,597.86,  and  leaves  unex¬ 
pended,  of  the  Capital  Stock,  the  sum  of  $94,402.14.  Of  this 
latter  sum,  however,  $50,000,  loaned  to  the  Portsmouth  and 
Concord  Railroad,  may,  for  all  practical  purposes,  for  the  present 
at  least,  be  considered  as  expended,  which,  deducted,  leaves  an 
unexpended  balance  of  capital  stock  amounting  to  the  sum  of 
$44,402.14. 

For  this  amount  of  Capital  Stock  actually  expended,  the  Cor¬ 
poration  now  possess  sixty- nine  miles  three  hundred  and  seventy 
feet  of  double  main  track,  and  almost  nine  miles  of  side  track, 
in  excellent  order  and  condition,  under  the  immediate  superin¬ 
tendence  of  Mr.  James  A.  Weston,  the  experienced  and  suc¬ 
cessful  Civil  Engineer  and  Road  Master  of  the  Corporation, 
with  all  the  necessary  depOts,  station-houses,  stock,  tools,  furni¬ 
ture  and  fixtures  for  successfully  renewing,  repairing  and  ope¬ 
rating  the  same,  besides  considerable  quantities  of  land,  with  ten¬ 
ements  thereon,convenient,  but  not  indispensable  for  that  purpose.

It  is  believed  it  would  be  difficult  to  name  the  Road  that  possesses 
an  equal  amount  of  property,  procured  at  less  expense  of  capital 
expended. 

In  the  Appendix  will  be  found  an  exact  and  careful  Inventory 
and  Appraisal  of  all  the  Personal  Property  of  the  Corporation 
on  the  first  day  of  November  last,  made  in  compliance  with  the 
terms  of  the  Lease  between  our  own  and  the  Manchester  and 
Lawrence  Road,  with  a  particular  description  of  the  Lands  and 
Buildings  belonging  to  the  ^Corporation,  and  a  similar  Inventory 
and  description  of  the  Property,  Lands  and  Buildings  of  the 
Manchester  and  Lawrence  Road.  These  documents,  with  which 
we  have  been  kindly  furnished  by  the  Superintendent,  are  much 
more  full  and  minute  than  any  thing  which  your  Committee 
would  have  been  likely  otherwise  to  have  procured ;  and  as  they 
are  part  and  parcel J^of  a  business  transaction  of  much  import¬ 
ance,  and  form  the  basis  of  the  contract  on  which  our  Road  is 
to  be  operated  for  the  ensuing  five  years,  we  trust  their  publica¬ 
tion,  as  furnishing  an  authentic  exposition  of  the  condition, 
amount,  value,  and  location  of  the  property  of  the  Corporation, 
will  meet  your  approbation. 

We  have  also  appended  to  this  Report  a  copy  of  the  Lease 
taken  by  our  Corporation  of  the  Manchester  &  Lawrence  Road, 
on  the  fourth  day  of  October  last,  with  the  approval  of  the  Rail¬ 
road  Commissioners  and  of  the  Governor  and  Council  thereon — 
believing  the  members  of  the  Corporation  will  approve  its  publi¬ 
cation  as  a  matter  of  future  reference,  as  well  as  of  present  in¬ 
terest. 

In  the  Appendix  will  also  be  found  a  detailed  and  accurate 
statement  of  the  names,  occupations  and  salaries  of  all  the  offi¬ 
cers  and  men  in  the  employment  of  the  Corporation,  together 
with  a  statement  of  the  number  of  persons  riding  free  over  the 
Road  during  the  past  year. 

The  amount  of  the  contingent  and  deterioration  fund  of  the 
Corporation  on  the  first  day  of  November  last,  at  the  commence¬ 
ment  of  the  Lease  of  the  Manchester  &  Lawrence  Road,  was 
$39,684.13.  There  has  since  been  set  apart  for  this  fund,  from 


9 


the  joint  earnings  of  the  two  Roads,  as  belonging  to  our  Road, 
the  further  sum  of  $4,218.96. 

By  the  terms  of  the  Lease  of  the  Manchester  &  Lawrence 
Road,  as  will  be  seen  by  reference  thereto,  all  damages  and  ex¬ 
penses  incident  to  the  running  of  the  two  Roads,  are  to  be  borne 
from  the  funds  resulting  from  the  operations  of  both.  The  occa^ 
sion,  therefore,  for  so  much  of  this  fund  as  had  accumulated  pre¬ 
vious  to  the  commencement  of  that  Lease,  no  longer  exists,  inas¬ 
much  as  it  cannot,  during  the  continuance  of  the  Lease,  be  le¬ 
gitimately  used  for  the  purpose  for  which  it  was  originally  set 
apart.  It,  therefore,  can  during  that  period  be  made  available 
in  the  joint  operation  of  the  two  Roads  only  by  being  invested  in 
stock  and  fuel,  for  which  our  Road  shall  receive  interest  from  the 
joint  earnings.  But  the  unexpended  balance  of  Capital  Stock 
being  likely  to  remain  for  several  years  amply  sufficient  for  that 
investment,  there  would  seem  to  be  no  good  reason  why  the  larger 
portion  of  the  contingent  fund,  belonging  exclusively  to  our 
Stockholders,  should  not  be  divided  among  them,  and  we  are 
pleased  to  find  that  the  Directors  coincide  with  our  views  in  this 
respect,  and  have  recommended  such  a  division  hereafter. 

The  attention  of  your  Committee  has  been  directed  to  the 
mode  in  which  the  funds  belonging  to  the  Corporation  have  here¬ 
tofore  been,  and  still  are  managed  and  invested,  and  they  are 
gratified  to  believe  the  Stockholders  will  most  cordially  approve 
of  the  course  pursued  in  relation  thereto. 

By  a  vote  of  the  Directors,  the  Treasurer,  whenever  an  amount 
of  funds,  exceeding  three  thousand  dollars,  accumulates  in  his 
hands  from  any  source,  is  required  to  deposit  the  same  in  a  bank, 
to  the  credit  of  the  Financial  Committee  of  the  Board.  %  an 
arrangement  between  the  bank  and  this  Committee,  the  Corpora¬ 
tion  receives  three  per  cent,  interest  on  the  smallest  monthly  bal¬ 
ances  deposited  to  their  credit,  and  whenever  the  sum  so  depos¬ 
ited  reaches  the  amount  of  $10,000,  the  Committee  make  a  loan 
thereof,  payable  on  call  at  six  per  cent,  interest.  These  loans 
have  generally  been  made  to  individuals,  with  undoubted  stock 
collateral,  and  have  in  all  cases  been  abundantly  safe.  No  offi- 

2 


10 


cer  of  the  Road  has  ever  received  any  loan  from  the  funds  of 
the  Corporation,  or  any  compensation  for  his  services  in  manag¬ 
ing  or  investing  them. 

In  the  course  of  their  investigations,  your  Committee  endeav¬ 
ored  to  ascertain  the  causes  of  the  diminished  income  of  the 
past  year,  and  to  satisfy  themselves  how  far  the  result  was  owing 
to  the  operation  of  the  contract  with  the  Manchester  and  Law¬ 
rence  Road.  The  result  of  these  inquiries  was  a  full  conviction 
that  nothing  unfavorable  had  come  or  was  likely  to  come  to  the 
prospects  of  the  Corporation  from  that  contract,  but  that  ulti¬ 
mately  it  must  be  productive  of  great  good  to  both  Roads.  The 
subject  of  diminished  income,  as  resulting  from  the  depression  of 
manufactuiing  and  other  business,  is,  however,  so  fully  discussed 
and  explained  in  the  Report  of  your  Directors,  that  it  is  not  ne¬ 
cessary  to  pursue  it  here.  We  agree  with  them,  that  the  same 
causes  are  not  likely  soon  again  to  occur,  and  if  they  should, 
that  other  influences  will  be  likely  to  more  than  counterbalance 
their  effects.  No  reasonable  doubt,  as  it  seems  to  us,  can  be 
entertained,  that  the  unavoidable  increase  of  travel  and  freight 
upon  our  route,  consequent  upon  the  opening  of  a  new  channel 
of  communication  to  the  great  West  by  the  completion  of  the 
Vermont  and  Canada  and  Ogdensburgh  Railroads,  must  ere  long 
guarantee  to  om^  Corporation  a  permanently  augmented  income, 
little  liable  to  fluctuations  from  the  disasters  or  successes  of  or¬ 
dinary  business  pursuits. 

During  the  whole  of  their  investigations,  the  President,  Super¬ 
intendent  and  other  officers  of  the  Corporation  have  furnished 
your  Committee  with  every  desired  facility  in  their  labors.  Every 
officer  has  evinced  a  disposition  to  communicate  freely  and  with¬ 
out  reserve  any  and  all  information  in  his  possession,  in  relation 
to  the  affairs  and  management  of  the  Corporation.  And  we  are 
under  particular  obhgations  to  the  Superintendent,  to  whose  un¬ 
tiring  efforts  to  promote  the  prosperity  and  secure  the  perma¬ 
nent  success  of  the  Corporation  we  have  long  been  witnesses,  for 
the  statistics  with  which  he  has  from  time  to  time  furnished  us, 
undoubtedly  very  much  to  his  personal  inconvenience,  in  the 


11 


great  pressure  of  business  incident  to  the  making  of  his  settle¬ 
ments,  and  the  closing  up  of  his  accounts  at  the  end  of  the  year. 

There  are  many  other  topics  whereon  your  Committee  might 
make  suggestions  which  have  occurred  to  them  in  the  discharge 
of  their  duties,  but  they  will  only  observe,  in  conclusion,  that  they 
have  discovered  nothing  which  induces  them  in  the  least  to  dis¬ 
trust  the  integrity  or  capacity  of  those  now  or  heretofore  entrust¬ 
ed  with  the  management  of  your  affairs,  and  nothing  to  impair 
their  confidence  in  the  value  of  your  investment  in  the  funds  of 
the  Corporation.  They  have  no  apprehensions  but  that,  with 
the  returning  prosperity  of  business  throughout  the  country,  the 
income  of  the  Koad  from  the  existing  tariff  of  fare  and  freight 
will  give  to  the  Stockholders  ample  dividends  upon  their  money. 
If  in  this  they  should  be  disappointed,  they  would  still  entertain 
no  fears  for  the  result,  for  an  increase  of  the  passenger  fare  be¬ 
tween  Boston  and  Concord  and  intermediate  points,  to  the  lowest 
sum  now  charged  by  any  other  line  out  of  Boston  for  the  same 
distances,  would  increase  the  receipts  from  that  source  nearly 
twenty  per  cent.,  while  an  increase  of  the  charge  for  freight  be¬ 
tween  those  points  to  an  approximation  towards  the  expense  of 
transportation  in  any  other  mode,  would  ensure  a  revenue  suffi¬ 
cient  to  meet  the  reasonable  expectations  of  all  reasonable  men. 

K  necessary  to  give  those  who  have  invested  their  money  re¬ 
munerative  dividends,  in  the  opinion  of  your  Committee  the 
public  will  most  cheerfully  submit  to  such  additional  charges.  If 
he  who  makes  two  blades  of  grass  grow  where  but  one  grew  be¬ 
fore,  is  justly  styled  the  benefactor  of  his  race,  how  much  more 
justly  are  those  entitled  to  that  appellation,  who  have  contributed 
of  their  means  to  the  construction  of  those  great  works  of  inter¬ 
nal  improvement,  whereby  not  only  all  the  productions  of  the 
earth  are  doubled  and  even  quadrupled  in  value,  but  the  facili¬ 
ties  of  social  intercourse  and  social  enjoyment  immeasurably  in¬ 
creased  !  The  Stockholders  in  railroads  are,  then,  in  some  good 
sense,  public  benefactors,  and  as  such  entitled,  whenever  their 
Roads  are  judiciously  located,  to  a  fair  and  adequate  compensa¬ 
tion  from  the  public  for  the  use  of  their  money.  That  compen- 


/ 


12 


sation  the  public  will  ultimately  rejoice  to  bestow ; — ^the  sterling 
good  sense,  the  “sober  second  thought’^  of  the  community 
everywhere,  must  and  will  ensure  it.

THIS  INDENTURE,  made  the  fourth  day  of  October,  A.  D,  1850,  be¬ 
tween  the  CONCORD  RAILROAD  CORPORATION,  of  the  one 
part,  and  the  MANCHESTER  AND  LAWRENCE  RAILROAD,  of 
the  other  part,  both  being  Corporations  duly  established  wdthin  and  by 
the  State  of  New-Hampshire,  witnesseth — 

That  the  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Railroad,  for  and  in  consideration 
of  the  covenants  and  agreements  to  be  paid  and  performed  by  the  Con¬ 
cord  Railroad,  as  hereinafter  mentioned,  have  demised,  leased,  and  to  form 
let  to  the  Concord  Railroad  the  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Railroad,  with 
its  lands,  right  of  way,  buildings,  fixtures,  and  other  corporate  property, 
with  all  the  privileges  and  appurtenances  thereunto  belonging,  for  and 
during  the  term  of  five  years  from  and  after  the  first  day  of  November 
next,  on  the  following  terms  and  conditions,  viz  : 

That  the  said  Concord  Road  and  the  said  IManchester  and  Lawrence 
Road,  under  the  direction  of  said  Concord  Road,  shall  be  managed  with  effi¬ 
ciency  and  economy,  and  with  equal  facilities  for  the  transaction  of  business 
over  either  line,  and  that  the  same  rates  of  toll  shall  be  established  over 
each  Road : 

That  the  road  bed,  superstructure  and  fixtures  of  each  Roa<i  shall  be 
kept,  as  near  as  may  be,  in  like  thorough  repair,  and  all  casualties  and 
damages  on  each  line  shall  be  at  the  common  risk,  and  charged  in  current 
account  of  the  Roads  : 

That  the  cars,  engines  and  furniture  of  each  Road,  including  tools  and 
permanent  fixtures,  shall  be  accurately  inventoried  and  described,  and  be 
kept  in  equal  comparative  repair  from  their  present  state  and  condition, 
and  the  portion  of  the  same  belonging  to  the  Manchester  and  Lawrence 
Road  is  to  be  so  returned  at  the  expiration  of  the  lease  : 

That  any  additions  made  to  the  furniture  from  the  joint  income  of  the 
Roads  above  what  is  necessary  for  depreciation,  and  which  is  not  charged 
to  construction,  shall  belong  to  the  Roads  in  proportion  to  the  capital  stock 
of  each  Road. 

A  full  inventory  and  appraisal  is  to  be  made  of  all  stock  in  the  machine 
shops,  and  wood  and  oil  on  hand,  belonging  to  the  Concord  Road,  and  of 
such  wood  as  may  be  purchased  of  the  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Road, 
including  proper  allowance  for  the  supply  of  said  stock  of  wood  in  ad- 


80 


vance,  and  the  same  is  to  stand  charged  against  the  current  income  of  the 
year. 

The  capital  stock  of  the  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Road  is  to  consist  of 
the  amount  actually  expended  in  the  construction  of  the  road,  with  its  out¬ 
standing  debts,  amounting  in  all  to  eight  hundred  thousand  dollars ;  any 
portion  of  which  sum,  so  long  as  it  shall  remain  on  hand  unexpended,  is  to 
be  placed  at  interest,  and  the  interest  made  part  of  the  current  income  of 
the  Road.  And  the  capital  stock  of  the  Concord  Road  is  to  consist  of 
fourteen  hundred  and  eighty-five  thousand  dollars,  being  the  amount  of 
stock  as  now  created,  any  surplus  of  which  unexpended  is  to  be  placed  at 
interest,  and  the  interest  made  part  of  the  current  income  of  said  Road. 
And  any  new  work  done  or  purchases  made,  which  properly  belong  to  the 
construction  expense  of  either  Road,  is  to  be  charged  to  the  construction 
accounts  of  such  Road,  or  where  new  purchases  of  furniture  shall  be  made 
for  the  joint  benefit  of  the  Roads,  and  which  is  a  proper  charge  to  con¬ 
struction,  the  same  shall  be  apportioned  between  the  Roads  in  propor¬ 
tion  to  their  capital  stock,  and  shall  be  owned  by  them  in  such  propor¬ 
tions,  and  the  dividends  of  the  Roads  shall  be  made  from  time  to  time  on 
the  amount  of  the  capital  stock  thus  established. 

A  depot  is  to  be  erected  at  Manchester  for  the  common  use  and  benefit 
of  the  Roads,  on  such  terms  and  conditions  as  may  be  agreed  upon  by  the 
Directors  of  both  Roads,  the  expense  of  which  is  to  be  paid  in  proportion 
to  the  capital  stock  of  each  Road,  and  the  proper  adjustment  of  any  previ¬ 
ous  contract  on  the  subject  is  to  be  made  by  the  parties. 

On  the  first  day  of  May  and  the  first  day  of  November,  of  each  year,  a 
suitable  sum  shall  be  set  apart  and  paid  to  each  Road,  for  the  depreciation 
account  of  the  Road,  and  the  net  receipts  of  the  Roads  from  all  sources, 
over  and  above  this  amount,  and  above  the  current  expenditures  of  the 
Roads,  shall  be  apportioned  to  each  road  in  the  proportion  of  three  dollars 
on  each  hundred  dollars  of  the  capital  stock  of  the  Manchester  and  Law¬ 
rence  Road  to  four  dollars  on  each  hundred  dollars  of  the  capital  stock  of 
the  Concord  Road  ;  and  where  an  apportionment  of  eight  per  cent,  in  any 
one  year  shall  be  made  to  the  Concord  Road  with  a  proportionate  amount 
in  aforesaid  ratio  to  the  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Road,  any  sum  beyond 
this  shall  be  divided  between  the  Roads  in  proportion  to  their  capital 
stock ;  and  where  an  apportionment  of  ten  per  cent,  in  any  one  year  is 
made  to  the  Concord  Road  with  a  proportionate  sum  to  the  Manchester 
and  Lawrence  Road,  as  aforesaid,  any  amount  beyond  this  is  to  be  appro¬ 
priated  to  equalize  the  dividends  of  the  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Road 
until  they  shall  equal  those  of  the  Concord  Road ;  and  from  the  sums 
thus  set  apart  and  apportioned,  the  respective  Boards  of  Directors  shall 
declare  such  dividends  to  their  several  Roads  as  they  deem  proper. 

The  contract  made  with  the  Boston  and  Maine  Railroad,  for  tlie  use  of 


81 


the  Methuen  Branch  Koad,  is  hereby  transferred  and  assigned  to  the  Con¬ 
cord  Kailroad  as  part  and  parcel  of  this  lease,  to  be  operated  for  the  joint 
benefit  of  the  two  roads,  on  the  same  proportionate  terms  and  conditions 
as  aforesaid  ;  the  said  Concord  Road  rendering  the  same  rent  for  the  use 
of  said  Methuen  Branch  to  the  Boston  and  Maine  Railroad,  as  is  now'ren- 
dered  by  said  Manchester  and  Lawrence  Road. 

All  matters  in  controversy  arising  under  this  contract,  as  to  the  true  in¬ 
tent  and  just  mode  of  carrying  out  the  same,  shall  be  submitted  to  the  de¬ 
termination  and  arbitration  of  Josiah  Stickney,  of  Boston,  Charles  S. 
Storrow,  of  Lawrence,  and  Nathan  Hale,  of  Boston,  whose  decision  there¬ 
on  shall  be  final. 

The  books  and  accounts  of  each  Corporation  shall  be  open  to  the  exam¬ 
ination  and  inspection  of  the  Directors  of  each  Road. 

In  witness  of  which  said  several  covenants  and  agreements,  the  under¬ 
signed  Roads,  by  their  Agents,  have  interchangeably  executed,  signed, 
sealed  and  delivered  these  presents.
